Since the source is Mother Jones, they're using Mr. Cruz's words to demonize Christians. However, the part quoted is word-for-word.

Ted Cruz's Dad: My Son Ran for President After God Sent His Wife a Sign

Ted Cruz decided to run for president after God spoke to his wife, Heidi.

That's how Rafael Cruz, Ted's father and a born-again pastor, described his son's decision-making process. Speaking on a syndicated radio show at the end of last year, the elder Cruz recounted that during a Sunday prayer session at a Texas church, Ted Cruz and his family sought God's guidance as to whether the senator should enter the presidential race, and after two hours of praying, God sent a message to Heidi that essentially said: Go for it.

Here's the story, according to Rafael Cruz:

My son Ted and his family spent six months in prayer seeking God's will for this decision. But the day the final green light came on, the whole family was together. It was a Sunday. We were all at his church, First Baptist Church in Houston, including his senior staff. After the church service, we all gathered at the pastor's office. We were on our knees for two hours seeking God's will. At the end of that time, a word came through his wife, Heidi. And the word came, just saying, "Seek God's face, not God's hand." And I'll tell you, it was as if there was a cloud of the holy spirit filling that place. Some of us were weeping, and Ted just looked up and said, "Lord, here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want." And he felt that was a green light to move forward.

“My son Ted and his family spent six months in prayer “

Wasn’t he supposed to be serving in the Senate at that time?
Sounds kinda like the ‘fasting’ Beck was going to do for Cruz...there are photos all over FB of him stuffing his face.
lol

“Heidi got a SIGN”

.....give me a break!

‘....eh, Heidi, this is the BIG GUY...got a message for your husband. Tell him I said to blow that Senate gig he just got, let the taxpayers provide you with $$$ while he ignores his job and responsibilities to seek his greatness!! About that Cuban/Canadian birth thingy......don’t worry, the ‘faithful’ will make excuses just like the Obamaites did.’

Why didn’t he talk to TED? Maybe Heidi is the one that should be running.

I wanna see the memo!
